Conducts research and collects data on the global history of labour, workers, and labour relations

Grant for Clio-Infra

Dutch Science Funding organisation NWO has announced it will subsidize the project CLIO-Infra, in which the IISH participates.
CLIO-Infra will create a set of interconnected historical databases on worldwide social, economic and institutional indicators over the last five centuries, with special focus on the last 200 years.  These indicators will enable historians to study the long term development of global inequality.
The project is led by Jan Luiten van Zanden, who has formulated IISH's research programme on global economic history. CLIO-Infra will be hosted by the IISH.
